My Father Is Definitely Possessed-Chapter 359 - 198: Li Hengsheng’s Hellish Beginning (Part 4)
"I am the new Inspector."
Li Hengsheng didn’t waste any words and took out the token directly.
Seeing the golden token, the elder was stunned.
Clang.
The knife in his hand fell to the ground; he was momentarily excited, even tears welled up in his eyes.
"Inspector, sir!"
The old man knelt down directly in front of Li Hengsheng.
"Descendant of the Iron-Blooded Divine Constable Yan Beigui, Marquis Yan pays respects to Inspector, sir!"
"I have been waiting for your arrival, sir. You’ve finally come."
Although Marquis Yan was already in his sixties, he was very excited at this moment. Li Hengsheng seemed to sense a remarkable passion in this elder.
"Please rise."
Li Hengsheng hastily helped Elder Yan up.
"Elder Yan, no need for such formalities. Today is my first day in office, and I will be relying on you a lot in the future," Li Hengsheng said quickly.
"Of course, of course," Marquis Yan quickly responded, "Come to the backyard. The front is dirty and hasn’t been cleaned yet."
"Elder Yan, why are you the only one in the Inspection Mansion? Where are the other guards?"
"They’ve gone home to harvest wheat."
"??? "
"Because we couldn’t pay them, they’ve all left."
"So now I’m just a bare-bones Inspector?" Li Hengsheng found it absolutely absurd.
He had expected the situation to be tough, but not this tough.
No one even left for him.
"Don’t worry, sir. As long as their salaries can be paid, they are willing to come back. If you need anything, I, an old man, am willing to run errands for you."
"Alright, then I’ll have to trouble Elder Yan," Li Hengsheng said.
Since it was just a matter of unpaid salaries, Li Hengsheng thought he might as well use his own money to cover it for now.
"Wu Junior Brother, go and find some people to clean up the entire Inspection Mansion, put up that door, and replace the plaque with a new one," Li Hengsheng instructed.
Since he was here, there needed to be a new atmosphere.
Everyone quickly got busy.
But Li Hengsheng’s arrival also attracted the attention of many local powers.
A new Inspector had arrived.
They, of course, wanted to test this Inspector. If he was as cooperative as the last one, they would be happy to make money together. But if he was an uncooperative fool, they wouldn’t mind teaching him a lesson.
"I’ve heard that it’s just a Postnatal Realm Martial Artist, coming here for a gilded experience, or to make a quick buck," 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
said a man in the studio, smilingly spinning two jade balls in his hand. "Go and give this Inspector five thousand taels of silver, advise him to behave, not to stir up trouble, and there will be plenty of benefits for him in the future."
"Yes!"
To them, sending a Postnatal Martial Artist to be an Inspector seemed like a joke. If he wasn’t there to make money or because of connections,
they simply wouldn’t believe it.
Could he be sent here to court death?
Wu Santong found people to clean the entire Inspection Mansion thoroughly and also got a door installed.
Li Hengsheng and the others spent their first night there.
Then early the next morning, Marquis Yan returned.
Along with Marquis Yan came over twenty people, all haphazardly dressed in Inspection Mansion uniforms, and having heard that they would be paid, they quickly returned.
Li Hengsheng took a look. What kind of ragtag group are these people?
The majority were in the Transcendent Realm.
There were three in the Postnatal Realm.
One in Postnatal Perfection.
And then...
Nothing more.
